One need only look at the pedigree of the urban Peugeot and the volume of specimens sold to understand their phenomenality. Shown to the world in the early 80s, the Peugeot 205 disqualified competitors in almost every way, as did its Peugeot 206 receiver, which continued the PSA victory march. Only the Peugeot 207, which was produced between 2006 and 2012, slowed down the pace of sales. Less than two years after the release of the 5-door and 3-door Peugeot 207 version of the station wagon. In the PSA nomenclature, this modification received the traditional designation SW. She was tasked with competing for customers with the Seat Ibiza ST, Skoda Fabia Combi and Renault Clio Sport Tourer wagons. The front part of the functional resident from the banks of the Seine did not differ from models in other body designs. The Peugeot 207 still greeted oncoming drivers with a huge lion’s mouth with round fog lights on the lower “lip” and a license plate at the bottom of the bumper, which, according to most users, is not the best solution. Elongated headlights form the beginning of a symbolic line extending throughout the length of the body. French designers, no doubt, got the difficult task - to make a wagon from a car of the B segment. The rear of the Peugeot 207 SW does not look finished, as in the case of the Skoda Fabia Combi. In Peugeot, they simply skillfully painted the trunk with huge headlights and a low edge of the loading platform. As befits serious wagons, the roof placed rails to facilitate the transportation of additional equipment.

Engines

In terms of the set of engines offered, the French can only compare with German competitors. A huge range of engines can satisfy the wishes of almost any motorist. While the hatchback initially had only the old PSA engines of the TU and ET3 series, the station wagon immediately got more advanced engines 1. 4 VTi, 1. 6 VTi and 1. 6 THP. These are the EP series engines, created in conjunction with BMW. These are exciting and very advanced units that unfortunately become the source of many problems. In particular, the chain of the valve timing, which has already experienced the third modification. If you want a VTi or THP engine, you should look for cars built after 2010. In this case, the engines comply with the Euro-5 standard, and when switching to it, they underwent, at first glance, minor, but very useful changes. However, those interested in a reliable gasoline engine can find it in the Peugeot 207 SW. However, you will have to give up power and dynamics. Until the end of production, along with modern VTi and TNR engines, the old and time-tested 8-valve 1. 4 TU series was offered. The power of 74 hp makes you smile, but this engine will definitely not cause problems. Only every 90,000 km will have to go to the service to replace the belt. Not bad and 16-valve version of this engine with the marking ET3. She's offering 88bhp. It is a pity that this engine was only on sale until 2009. Among the characteristic problems can be noted breakdown of the gasket under the head of the cylinder block. In this case, the cooling liquid begins to gradually decrease.

Walking

Among B-class cars in suspension, as a rule, simple and cheap schemes are used. Thus, on the front axle 207 SW is used suspension type McPherson, and on the rear – torsion beam. The chassis of the Frenchman is surprisingly rigidly tuned, however, it allowed you to get good handling.

Due to poor roads, front and rear shock absorbers periodically fail. The levers of the front suspension provide the possibility of updating the ball support. The back beam is almost eternal.

Other problems and malfunctions

Compared to the predecessor Peugeot 206, not only technology, safety and equipment, but also corrosion protection have improved. Rust can only be found in very exceptional cases.

The durability of the finishing materials of the interior of the Peugeot 207 is not to be worried. Only the gear shift lever after time and frequent trips around the city acquires traces of wear.

Review

• However, the higher roof line eliminates the problem of a lack of space overhead for tall passengers.

• To avoid problems with the environmental filter, it is necessary to systematically travel out of the city on highways. This will remove excess soot.
• But after that, you need to take care of reprogramming the engine control unit.

The Peugeot 207 SW with a diesel engine is a good alternative for a family with little or no requirements. The station wagon has a typical urban character and low operating costs. The only thing that can cause inconvenience is the filter of particulate matter diesel versions.
